Put me down for never.

I reckon the talk of DSO sales will evaporate faster than the water in Chinaman dam over the dry season, with the jig eventually coming on line and the maiden native copper concentrate sales taking over the conversation.

My personal opinion (FWIIW) is that there is not enough DSO grade material (even notwithstanding that 21% Cu is a pretty marginal grade for a DSO comprising NCu, cuprite and chalcocite, and would probably give the smelters a hard time with all the excess silica) to make producing a product worthwhile. I suspect that the high grade material will continue to be stockpiled, and then will be blended with lower grade material once transition/supergene ore processing (i.e. non- NCu supergene material) operations commence in earnest.
